Italian Stuffed Pork Loin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Line a jelly roll pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Combine tomatoes, basil, nuts, garlic, cheese and oil in a food processor. Process until well blended and slightly chunky in texture. (Like a pesto).
• Blend tomato-basil mixture with ricotta cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Rinse the tenderloin and pat dry. Slice the loin horizontally,nearly, but not all the way through. The roast should open like a book.
• Pound the meat with a mallet, to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Lay the meat on three to four lengths of twine.
• Spread a thick layer of filling over the meat, leaving a one inch border around the edges.
• Starting at the long edge, roll the meat, tucking the ragged edges into the roll. Secure with twine. Place on prepared jelly roll pan.
• Sprinkle roast lightly with garlic salt and italian seasoning.
• Bake until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
• Let rest 5-10 minutes after baking, then slice, removing the twine as you go.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut lengthwise slit in each pork tenderloin, cutting to but not through the other side. Set pork aside. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and green onions; cook until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in cooked long grain and wild rice mix, pecans and parsley. Set aside 3/4 cup of the rice mixture. Spoon remaining rice mixture into 1 1/2-quart casserole; cover and set aside. Divide 3/4 cup rice mixture between slits in pork tenderloins, spreading evenly in slits. Close slits; secure with toothpicks.
• Stir together Italian seasoning and salt in small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over top of pork tenderloins. Place pork tenderloins on rack in shallow roasting pan.
• Roast tenderloins, uncovered, for 25-27 minutes until internal temperature is 145 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a 5-minute rest time. Bake casserole of rice mixture alongside tenderloins. Meanwhile, for sauce, combine Alfredo sauce and Chardonnay in medium saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until bubbly. To serve, spoon rice mixture onto serving platter. Remove toothpicks from tenderloins. Cut pork tenderloins into 1-inch-thick pieces; arrange on rice mixture on platter. Serve sauce with pork and rice mixture.

Steps:

• Place pork in a shallow dish and coat with Italian dressing. Cover and refrigerate for two hours.
• For the relish, stir the black olives, green olives, garlic, onion, and peppers together in a bowl; stir in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• When pork has finished marinating, preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Slice the pork loin down the center lengthwise, cutting about 3/4 of the way through to the other side. Stuff full with the olive relish. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
